The highly anticipated fourth Ashes Test match between England and Australia is scheduled to be held at Old Trafford Cricket Ground in Manchester from July 19 to July 23. Pat Cummins-led Australia are leading the series 2-1 and need just a draw in the Manchester Test to retain the Ashes. Ben Stokes-led England, on the other hand, need to win the last two Tests to win back the Ashes from Australia. After losing the first two Tests, England bounced back well in Headingley to win by three wicket to keep their hopes alive.
England has no other option but to win the match if they want to win the series. The home team won the last game and has made a comeback in the series after losing the first two matches by close margins. The English batters will have to perform better if they want to win the series. They will have to support their captain who has been performing tremendously and fighting lone battles.
Australia on the other side, will be looking to bounce back and clinch the series in the 4th Test. The visitors have played incredibly well during the series with their Captain Pat Cummins leading from the front with the most wickets for them in the series. The main concern for the Aussies is their star spinner and third-highest wicket-taker of all time Nathan Lyon is injured and that has left a hole in their bowling attack which they need to fix.
